BACKGROUND
Tract Map No. 51931 is the seventh and final phase of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 51931,
which was deemed to be in substantial conformance with the principles and standards required
by the Unified Development Code and approved by the City Council on December 18, 1997. The
map consisting of approximately 18.3 acres is located along Avenue Tibbitts, southwesterly of
Avenue Hopkins. The property is owned by Rivercourt, LLC, a California Limited Liability
Company.
This map is creating 15 lots (11 commercial/industrial use lots, 2 shared parking use lots, 1 City
open space lot, and 1 City river trail lot). Water rights have been secured for all lots.
Trail requirements are being met by the construction of a 16 -foot wide public pedestrian/bike
path, running the northwesterly edge of the Santa Clara River, within the phase boundaries.
The Bridge and Thoroughfare Fee (B&T) totaling $353,395.00 (per Valencia B&T District Fee)
has been fully satisfied, as stipulated in the Conditions of Approval. The site is for commercial
purposes only and has no Quimby Fee or Transit Mitigation Fee.

ready for City Council approval and acceptance of the dedications.
